I looked it up, it’s actually in excess of 1,000G, which is kinda fucking insane.

They’ve come up with a way they could do it. I dunno why you’re mad about that, I was just wanting to share an interesting tidbit I’d learned.
My understanding is that the reason why scientists like playing with the idea is that it’s more feasible than it immediately seems, and it’d solve some of the issues that a Mars colony would have (increased solar radiation due to low atmospheric density and weak electromagnetic field as well at very low gravity).
Would it be expensive? Yeah. We’re talking about colonizing another planet though. It already is going to cost hundreds of billions if not trillions to do.
- Comment on Futures 1 day ago:
Yep, yet it’s my understanding that it’d be easier to colonize Venus than Mars. Venus is closer, Venus’ gravity is similar to Earth’s, the air is extremely dense which means balloons would be very effective, iirc Venus has more opportunities for inter-planetary transit, high-altitude temperatures (where the balloons would float) are more similar to Earth’s, etc.

Remember kid, at some point in the far future, every star will burn out. There will be no more light, no more warmth. The universe will become an infinite void, without life. That is our future, dear child. That is the reality of our existence. All life, all light, extinguished by time.
- Comment on Futures 1 day ago:
Ironically, between Venus’ earth-like gravity and high atmospheric density, it might actually be easier to build cloud colonies on Venus than ground colonies on Mars.

I’m surprised and disappointed companies are still teaming up with lrg after their cd/dvd-r fiasco. Tl;Dr they were caught using CD and dvd-r instead of CD/dvd-rom. Not all releases are effected, it seems to just be releases with low batch numbers. However, the fact they did it at all is scummy as fuck.

Listen. If they used surplus blood to do this (blood that was expired) and then held a raffle at the end of each year where all blood donors were entered to win a knife or sword made from the expired human blood iron, I bet they’d see blood donations skyrocket.

If you’re referring to furry conventions, then I’ll chime in and say there are plenty of hot people in the furry community. They just usually aren’t the ones who get mocked on social media for being awkward.

I’m pretty sure you might get shot if you tried this in Texas. Some crazy would get mad about how dinosaurs were invented by Satan to mislead people into believing in evolution and therefore wearing a dinosaur costume makes you agents of the devil or something.

If I had a fursuit/scalesuit then I’d absolutely do shit like that. So, I guess?

Dinosaurs had hands. Are you trying to tell me that millions of years of evolution removed their hands?
No.
They’re just really good at hiding them.

- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 1 week ago:
Personally, I don’t have the game. I was interested in getting it, but I’ve lost a lot of interest due to this move. However, I wanted to help let people know that it’s worth asking for a refund, but that they may need to submit a second request before it’s approved.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 1 week ago:
I’ve heard that
A) you have to trigger a manual review (your first attempt will be denied by a bot, second refund request is usually manually reviewed). So you have to request a refund at least twice.
B) get lucky, because not everyone seems to be getting refunds.
It may be a regional thing (giving refunds to people who live in areas where PSN isn’t available), or it could just be pure luck.

Fyi, you might want to add a notice to your post that lets people know that it appears to be part of an ongoing series of false-dmcas from someone using a fake Nintendo-lookalike domain.

- Comment on New Mexico: Psychologists to dress up as wizards when providing expert testimony 4 weeks ago:
The measure had received unanimous approval in the senate and was headed for the house of representatives when sponsor Duncan Scott explained that he’d intended it as satire — he felt that too many mental health practitioners had been acting as expert witnesses. It was withdrawn and never signed into law.
You fucking cowards. You had a chance to have one of the weirdest laws in the books and you chickened out and said “hurr I’m only pretending lol”.
Asshole.
- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
I think people are misunderstanding my point. It’s not the existance of the internet, or YouTube, phones, cameras, etc. It’s the fact that we’re connected 24/7 and people tend to treat you like a weirdo if you disconnect. My question is if we’re truly better of with technology where one device does it all (creating the expectation of constant connectivity), or if we’d be better with having a phone that’s just a phone, a camera that’s just a camera, etc.
To be clear, I can see arguments both for and against it. If phones didn’t come with cameras, then cameras wouldn’t be as widespread. It’s because of how widespread cameras are that people have become more aware of police brutality. Additionally, because phone cameras are so common, it makes it easy for people to get into photography or filmmaking as a hobby. So in that sense, having a camera in every pocket is a good thing.
On the other hand, people have this weird expectation that, because you have a smart phone, you should always be reachable. The result is that people get worried or weirded out when they can’t reach you. They want to know why they went straight to voicemail, or why it took you a while to respond to their texts.
It’s also a lot easier to get addicted to things like social media when stuff like that can follow you wherever you go. On the one hand, it’s nice to have my friends in my pocket. On the other hand, my pocket rectangle regularly causes me anxiety due to the constant stream of news. I could disconnect, but then I’d be “living under a rock”.
Another pro, on the other hand, is that my handheld minipc is able to stream music, movies, TV shows, etc wherever I have a cellphone internet connection. That’s pretty awesome. I don’t need an iPod to listen to music, a portable DVD player to watch a movie, or a laptop to watch YouTube.
So I mean, I’m not really opposed to having an all-in-one device that fits in my pocket; I’m just questioning if they’re really that healthy. Like, is the trade-off worth it?

GPS used to come in standalone devices though, so it’s not like it’d suddenly become uninvented because we ditch the idea of an all-in-one pocket computer.

I don’t know that mine is. I will never know what it’s like for people to not expect for you to be available 24/7 as a result of smartphones.
- Comment on Oh the wonders of technology 4 weeks ago:
Sometimes I wonder, are we truly better off? Yes, it’s really cool that I have one device that does it all; but am I really happier? Is my life really any better because of it?
